Andre's POVAs I expected, Catalina was right on time. She caught me off-guard as I was in the shower and Felipe let her into my room. She stopped by to check the progress of the work that hadn't even started yet."They aren't here yet?" She said, referring to the construction workers. She looked through the foggy glass in the bathroom, her eyes ran frantically, searching for me."No, they aren't. It's still early, they should be here soon. Please leave now," I said in one breathe as I tried controlling my thoughts. Showering soon became the farthest thing on my mind."I wasn't planning on staying, don't kid yourself." She turned, now facing my bedroom door. I took the opportunity to grab a towel, wrapping it around my waist and then I stepped out.Noticing how quiet the room had gotten, she turned to me. "Aren't you going to get dressed? You don't plan on going out like that, do you?" She said as her eyes gave me a look over.I smirked, taking a step closer. "Does it bother you?" Thi

Catalina's POV"What are you doing?" Her head turned to look at me. She lay on her tummy on her king-size bed with half the duvet hanging at the edge of the bed."The place is so boring. I thought I'd check out stuff online, anything to keep me from losing my mind." I rolled my eyes at her as she typed away on her laptop, her fingers running fast over the keys, pausing every few seconds before typing again.Her gaze stayed on the screen as she scrolled, probably checking online for dresses. She pulled at her hair in frustration, letting out a silent cry as her head dropped to her hands."Why are you always so dramatic, Mariana? If you'd go outside at least once, you'll realize it's not so bad," I said, looking around her room. It was large, the walls were painted black with some blue wallpaper hanging from them. The gray tiles stayed neat from Nana's cleaning as Mariana never lifted a broom. Her closet was wide open but oddly neat as beautiful dresses hung from it. Her bathroom door

Andre's POVThe phone rang loudly as I walked over to pick it up. "Hello?"A soft greeting came in. It was Catalina. I looked outside to find the night sky darkened with little illumination from the stars. The crickets crooked in the fields as the rodents ran freely. A particular rodent caught my eye as it tried crawling through my window into my room. Quickly, I locked it as my ears tune in to hear her voice which suddenly turned quieter."I wanted to ask something of you if that's okay?" Her voice was meek like my response could break her and have her in tears."What's wrong?" I replied with a question."I'm currently at your door," she chuckled before continuing. "Could you come to get the door? I'm freezing, it's really cold." Her teeth rattled against each other, the sound reaching me through the phone.I dashed towards my windows, tearing the blinds open, and true to her words, there she stood, shivering in the bitter cold. Her arms wrapped around her torso as the wind blew her

Andre's POV"You already know I'm an only child, what else would you like to know about me?" We lay on the tiny blanket, gazing at the night sky that was painted with stars that had started twinkling out of their hiding place. The crescent moon stared down at us, its void face reminded me of the night breeze which ran cold, embracing our exposed skin. Leaving kisses in form of goosebumps. Half of our bodies lay on the hard ground but we didn't mind as the croaking of frogs and chirping of crickets filled the air, engulfing the comfortable silence. "How about why you guys moved to the city? You seem to love it here and everyone seems to love you too so why did you leave?" She asked, her gaze falling on me. I took a glance at her, returning my eyes to the night sky. "We did love it here, sadly it wasn't enough to run the place. Dad somehow made a bad investment, I'm not sure of the details as he doesn't like talking about it but it ended badly so we had to sell almost everything we ow

Catalina's POVTrying to slip past the front door unnoticed, a voice called out to me. "Where have you been?" Auntie was all over me in minutes, making a fuss out of nothing. "We were so worried. Paola and I couldn't sleep.""I'm sorry, Aunt but I had to take care of an emergency and couldn't return home last night." I lied, my voice remained emotionless, not giving anything away."Well, you should have called! We were worried sick," she wailed, her fingers running over me again, checking for a bruise but she came up empty-handed. "I'm fine, how is Mariana? Is she still asleep?" I was heading to her room, trying to get away from the conversation when Nana stopped me. I was met with her teary eyes. Her usual cheerful face was solemn as she held my cheeks in her hands."Please don't start Nana. I'm okay." I was getting tired of the endless reassurance I was giving to them."Mariana isn't in her room as she left already. You just missed her." I turned back to my aunt who just like Paola
